Mobbing is defined as a systematic and continuous form of psychological violence in the workplace. The healthcare sector is a field where workplace violence, including mobbing, is notably prevalent, with nurses in the early years of their careers representing a particularly vulnerable group in this context.
This study aims to investigate the prevalence of workplace mobbing among early-career nurses and its relationship with their quality of work life and sociodemographic characteristics.
This descriptive and prospective study employed a convenience sampling method. The study sample consisted of 392 clinical nurses who were in their first five years of professional life and were still working at the institution where they first started their career. Data were collected using a socio-demographic characteristics questionnaire, the workplace psychological violence scale (WPVS), and the Nursing Quality of work life scale (NWLQS).
Among nurses in the early years of their careers, mobbing related to professional status was the variable with the highest Beta coefficient negatively affecting work life quality (β: -0.171; p < 0.05), and together with the negative behavior subscale score, it was a significant predictor of reduced work life quality (R² Change: 16.547; p < 0.05). However, attacks on personality and workplace isolation did not make a significant contribution to the quality of work life in the hierarchical regression model (p < 0.05).
This study reveals that exposure to bullying in the professional status subscale during the first five years of nurses' careers significantly negatively affects their quality of work life. It highlights the need for greater support for nurses in the early years of their careers in addressing this issue within their work environments.

职场暴力是指工作场所中一种系统且持续的心理暴力形式。医疗保健部门是职场暴力（包括职场暴力）尤为普遍的领域，在此背景下，职业生涯早期的护士是特别脆弱的群体。
本研究旨在调查职业生涯早期护士职场暴力的患病率及其与工作生活质量和社会人口学特征的关系。
本描述性前瞻性研究采用便利抽样法。研究样本包括392名临床护士，他们处于职业生涯的前五年，仍在其最初开始职业生涯的机构工作。使用社会人口学特征问卷、职场心理暴力量表（WPVS）和护理工作生活质量量表（NWLQS）收集数据。
在职业生涯早期的护士中，与职业地位相关的职场暴力是对工作生活质量产生负面影响的β系数最高的变量（β：-0.171；p < 0.05），并且与负面行为子量表得分一起，是工作生活质量下降的重要预测因素（R²变化：16.547；p < 0.05）。然而，在分层回归模型中，对人格的攻击和职场孤立对工作生活质量没有显著贡献（p < 0.05）。
本研究表明，护士职业生涯的前五年在职业地位子量表中遭受欺凌会对其工作生活质量产生显著负面影响。它强调需要在护士职业生涯早期给予他们更多支持，以便在工作环境中解决这一问题。
